THE STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLANT,
v.
MANUEL RODRIGUEZ, APPELLEE

Fla. 3d DCA | 1986-10-28
No. 86-119
Before HENDRY, NESBITT and DANIEL S. PEARSON, JJ.
496 So. 2d 240 Florida District Court of Appeal, Third District (1986) Positive Treatment
Cited by 12 cases

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

We affirm the sentence under review departing downward from the sentencing guidelines upon a holding that the trial court gave clear and convincing reasons, supported by the record, for the departure and, accordingly, did not abuse its discre tion in sentencing the defendant below the guidelines. See State v. Rice, 464 So. 2d 684, 686 (Fla. 5th DCA 1985) (defendant’s age and complete lack of criminal record may be considered in mitigation of guidelines sentence); State v. Twelves, 463 So. 2d 493 (Fla. 2d DCA 1985) (showing of support of relatives and friends for defendant’s rehabilitation properly considered in mitigating sentence).

Affirmed.
